Group Laimas Muzykanti is established in October 1995. Together with a couple of people who shared the same views it was based by the actual band leader Artūrs Uškāns (Arturs Ushkans).

Initially the band was formed as folklore ensemble but with the time there were experients with the sounds of ethnic music instruments matching them with rock instruments. In the band were involved the most distinguished rock musicians of Latgale. As a result the band created specific music style named ethnorock.

It occured after the 1st independent album “Gonam gona” of “Laimas Muzykanti” is being released in October 2003 in publishing house “Izteiksme”. Now the band has prepared new programme and is going to release a new album.

Since the establishment the band had performances in Lithuania, Canada, Japan, Australia, USA, Hungary, Germany, Sweden, Belarus, Russia, Italy, Poland and in other countries.
